Wavefront-Guided LASIK in Carbondale, Illinois

Wavefront guided LASIK enables doctors to repair your vision with more precision than ever before. Historically, LASIK surgery operated under the assumption that your eyeballs are the same shape both topically and within in your sockets. Rather than assume your eyes are perfectly round, wavefront guided LASIK utilizes three-dimensional applications to determine the exact contours of your eyes.

Wavefront LASIK measures the shape of your cornea by sending light into your eye in a specific pattern and measuring the light that comes out. Any discrepancy is referred to as an aberration. Traditional LASIK could measure only Lower Order Aberrations (LOA). However, wavefront is able to measure both LOA and Higher Order Aberrations (HOA). HOA typically come in the form of halos that cloud your vision at nigh. Wavefront LASIK can provide significantly improved contrast sensitivity, ie you will have significantly improved vision when driving at night.

Wavefront guided LASIK is custom designed specifically to the contours of your eyes. Wavefront corrects refractive errors in your eyes, and in some cases can give patients nearly 20-10 vision where traditional LASIK may have limited the same patient to 20-20.
